Day 1 of Creating Smiles – Feed them well

(Updated for website readers in 2021)

I had announced the purpose of my new Smiles project on my 52^nd birthday on 27th July’15 during a pooja at my Dubai home.

The purpose of this Smiles project then was to inspire existing and potential readers to take at least one action on each day of the coming year such that we will create at least one new smile among the people that we interact with every day…

Since 2015 I had recorded daily interactions that could create smiles on the link https://smilemakerblog.wordpress.com/2015/09/

from day 1- day 52,Just like the joker who creates smiles, we too will do the same!
from day 53-104, we will become aware and acknowledge the Smilemakers around us.

from day 105-156 days of international places giving smile

from day 157 -200 days of girlfriends giving smiles

Following is original post of 18th Sep 2015 about launching this smile project on 27th July 2015

Day 1 Feed Them Well

Food to the hungry is one of the best way to make someone smile..especially when it is home cooked and given with heartfelt good wishes…
So what did I do on my 52nd birthday? I made105 people smile by feeding them well…yes I actually cooked and cooked and cooked in the kitchen…Do I enjoy routine cooking? Definitely no. Does it matter? Actually No! Because this was not a routine day…this was a special day. As I made huge quantities of idli. chatni, sambhar and tamarind Powa with my team of supporters…all I could think about was the smiles this home cooked South Indian meal would bring to the faces of my new set of North Indian friends that I made within less than a year of coming to stay in Dubai!
